    In my HHC i have emptied and washed out bin. Put some stuff in shed. Fed rabbits some peelings. Blitzed soup that was cooked. Removed and put back everything from one surface. Collected all washing from around the house and put a load on. Collected all glasses cups etc too. Checked freecycle as have listed something on there. Now decluttering some porridge before i go again!
    Another HHC at 10.45.

    Morning all - First read this thread last week and thought what a great idea.

    Immediately made list for a week with 5 'to do' things each day. Am on day 3 now and can't believe how much has been done with 15 minutes here and there.

    Have a large bookcase with 12 shelves, so one shelf getting done each day. Ironing and gardening are both on the 15 minute timer.

    Todays list includes, 1 shelf, steam hall floor, clean silver bits and pieces, clean leather sofas and 15m ironing.:j
